Tuner Galleria 2013 - Winter Wonderland

Scene: Tuner Galleria 2013; Chicago, IL

Back for our second time at Tuner Galleria, neither threats of blistering cold and snow flurries could keep Chicago's enthusiast community from coming out to display their rides. This year resulted in an almost entirely new crop of cars, a good mix of Japanese imports parked alongside European and domestics alike, and were a refreshing change of scenery from the norm that I'm used to in SoCal-and not dominated by Hondas. Using the same format as previous years, Tuner Galleria is still very big on the notion of giving back to the people who support their show, giving plenty of free gear out multiple times throughout the day while also putting on fashion/lingerie shows for the small legion of fanboys/stalkers who dare to put down their Magic cards for a day to chase models around. It goes without saying: Tuner Galleria is always a good time.

S2000-swapped Datsun 510-though you can't see it here, the factory S2K gauge cluster was mounted behind the instrument panel of the 510's, a clever way of integrating the must-use S2000 piece and still be able to read what's going on.
